While Leif had been transformed into a child Roxy had found her thoughts curiously preoccupied by the man she had known for barely three weeks. Yet the desire to talk to Leif and the inability to do so set her on edge and drove her thoughts further down the rabbit hole. Morning runs with the boys didn't help. Grooming Jeannie had not helped. The gym and training with anyone who would volunteer did nothing. It was a plague! A handsome, tall, mysterious plague. Furthermore, she didn't know who to talk to it about. It almost felt embarrassing to be so preoccupied by a man, especially when she had hardly let herself wander that path in the past.

Several times throughout the week she had debated texting her friends to air her grievances and yet each time she erased the message. Putting it into word actualized the affair her mind was having with an imagined creature. Two dates and a meeting with his mother hardly seemed to warrant such behaviors. Yet she found herself day dreaming about Leif even as she ran on the treadmill or sat to read. Her favorite idea thus far as that which made true on their promise to go camping. Maybe now that he had returned to his natural state they could do just that? It sounded great.

Roxy's thoughts simply went round and round as she showered, arms raised as she gently washed conditioner from her hair and enjoyed the hot water on her back. Maybe they could go through that new door that opened and take a trip? Although there was something worrisome about Rhysand's statement about love making. Best to wait until their spring rituals were finished. Or maybe he was being poetic? Although his true meaning hardly mattered as she closed her eyes to fully rinse the top of her head when she imagined Leif there, too. Laughing, she shook her head as if to clear it away and stepped from the water, turned it off, and twist her hair until it wasn't so sopping wet.

A buzz at the door told her she had spent far too much time day dreaming. "Ah--Just a minute!!" Roxy shout through the small one bedroom apartment as she hurried around for a towel. Pathetic. What kind of woman had she become?!

The woman laughed from the kitchen and reappeared with two drinks in one hand, a tray of some crackers and cheese in the other. "I have been thinking about you," Roxy confessed as she smiled at seeing him and her pup. Jeannie seemed to be in heaven as she wiggled in Leif's arms happily.

"You were sorely missed at our drinking party, by the way. Everyone sends their regards."

	"I've been thinking about you as well." At least since he woke up back in his adult body. "I'm sure I would have drunk them under the table." He said with a laugh. Jeannie curled up in a little ball in his lap and he started gently petting her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm willing to bet on it," Roxy agreed as she took a seat next to the pair and leaned forward with the glasses to pour the drinks. She went for the red, uncorking it with a twist of the screw. This was nice. It felt comfortable. A corner of her mind imagined coming home to this after a long day of work.

"I was fantastically smashed. I think I slept in for a full day with my hangover." She laughed. "I can't remember the last time I was so wasted."

Sitting back, she held out a glass for Leif.

	Leif took the glass and smiled, taking a drink of the wine. "It's too bad I missed that. I bet it was very amusing." He chuckled. Jeannie got up and crawled from Leif's lap to Roxy's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't think I'll be drinking that much again any time soon." She replied while putting one hand on Jeannie's head and scratching behind her ears. "I'm sure we will have plenty of chances to drink, however." Roxy held up her glass as if to make a point. "A few glasses and I'll be a bit tipsy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"Then perhaps we should limit it to one or two glasses." He chuckled. "Though it would be nice to see you tipsy. Just so I know." He nodded. He sipped his wine as he looked at her again. "I tend to get a bit flirty when I'm drunk." Though it did take quite a lot to get him drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-02 03:35 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged and leaned toward him slightly. "I'm yours all day. I have no plans." Roxy laughed. "You? More flirtatious? I hardly believe it." She shift as Jeannie got up to go drink from her water dish in the kitchen, which allowed her to sit closer to her guest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know it's hard to believe but it's true." He laughed. "It would take probably four bottles of wine to get me close to that, though." He shifted just a little closer to her, too. She did smell lovely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-02 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I'll need only one bottle to really notice anything. Two leaves me pretty up turned. I think I handle my alcohol well, I'm just small." Roxy shook her head and laughed at herself. "So...we were going to discuss plans? I thought that new realm sounded interesting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Leif nodded and kept everything she just said stored away before taking another drink of his wine. "Yes, plans. It does sound fascinating. And I bet we can go camping." He smiled. "Or we could also go camping in the park. Though the park does leave us more open to possible....intruders." He cleared his throat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Roxy set her drink down. No need to suck it dry in five minutes. In fifteen she'd feel just a slight buzz if she finished it off. Nothing wrong with that; but she wasn't in a hurry. They had all the time in the universe. She then turned back to Leif and smiled at him, though there was a daring, wicked flicker in her gaze.

"Camping sounds fantastic. Although I wonder what we're being intruded upon?" she asked coyly as her eyes looked up at him from behind soft lashes. "Intellectual, philosophical conversation, perhaps?" Or....something else...?"

	"Could be something else entirely." He smiled and reached his hand up, fingers lightly brushing the back of her cheek. "Depending on the situation, of course." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roxy leaned into his touch softly, eyes half-closing as she enjoyed the contact. "That's true. What if we are attacked by bears?" she teased, trying not to laugh and move far from the touch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Being attacked by bears would be a bad situation." He nodded. Leif shifted and rested his other hand on her hip, still lightly stroking her cheek. "Even just trying to start a fire can take a great deal of concentration. Someone stumbling upon us could make it difficult." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-02 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Oh, no. That does sound awful. What will we do for warmth if there is no fire?" Roxy asked still looking at him from beneath those lashes. It was a fairly coy expression. "The whole trip could be ruined." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I can think of a few ways to keep you warm." He smiled. "But a fire is very important." He nodded and moved just a little bit closer. Leif moved his hand so that it was flat against her cheek, lightly stroking with his thumb. "I'd really like to kiss you now." He wasn't sure why he said it rather than just doing it.

Roxy blushed at his sly commentary and nodded. "I could think of a fair few, as well," she said. As Leif then shift closer she put her hand on his chest gently where it slid up to rest upon his shoulder. Rather than replying, though she briefly considered it, she stretched up to meet his lips with her own. The kiss, unlike the few they had shared before, was not as chaste or swift.

	Leif slid his hand to the back of Roxy's neck as he kissed back. His other hand moved to her lower back, pulling her just a bit closer. He felt like he was on fire and he'd happily burn to ash if it meant the kiss didn't stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As it turned out, Roxy's day dreams were fairly prophetic. The kiss was better than expected and she didn't let up easily until she remembered breathing to be required to live. Pulling away only enough to catch her breath she gave out a subtle, air laugh. The hand on his shoulder gave it a squeeze of appreciation as her gaze finally lift to find Leif's. She felt a bit starry.

"Well...."

	Leif panted softly and smiled back at her. He stroked her back through her blouse with his thumb, moving neither hand. "That was....wonderful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-03 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Roxy nodded, feeling her cheeks turn pink again as she realized she was staring at him. Forcing herself to look away she playfully picked at the collar and top button of his shirt. "Mmm...what was that about camping? I can't seem to remember." She laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-03 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Leif cleared his throat and looked down. "The..lack of blood flow to my brain at the moment is making remembering rather difficult." He chuckled softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-03 01:08 am UTC (link)
	Automatically, Roxy looked down as he did before gasping in embarrassment for having done so and bursting into laughter. "I'm sorry!" she yelled in apology for looking around her giggle fit, one hand half hiding her face behind spread fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-03 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"Don't apologize." He laughed softly and moved her hand from her face. "It is a great compliment. It usually takes a bit more than just a kiss to get a rise out of me." He smirked as he said it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-03 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"Certainly never a compliment I've received," she mused as her hand turned over in his, face lifting up from it's hiding place. "You're clever. And handsome. Such a dangerous combination..." She smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
